I think we have already had that "disastrous day," and more, in the 2016 election of a conscienceless bully as President. The damage is immeasurable and, for 600,00 souls, fatal. Mc Carthy is like the lingering bad smell from a dump that already happened. But you are right, if we light a match to it there is still enough methane to completely blow up what is left.
McCarthy taking the position in 2022 means that it would be inevitable that Trump would return to the White House with the 2024 election, since McCarthy's House GOP would do what wasn't done in 2021 - throw the election, regardless of the popular or Electoral College vote, into the House of Representatives where the Republican state delegation majorities would insure Trump's installation. That is what I mean that this would be the darkest day, since there would not be any legal way of changing that. The result would be civil war. And if that happens again, it will be a civil war like what has happened in Lebanon and Syria, not what happened here 160 years ago.
You know, I never really understood ex-pats but I do now. I cannot live here if this scenario comes to life. It is hard enough living in Florida but more years of TFG as Pres would absolutely do me in. Thank you for your posts.
